Technical skills are so important. Its relevant in every aspect of business and I currently use it at my internship to maximize efficiency. Even if your company or position is not technical, knowing these skill will make you stand out compared to other people and its amazing to apply this to any business decision.

3-D printed homes are very interesting. 3-D printing has been growing slowly and this is a huge break through. Building a house for such a small amount of money and within one day is amazing. I think this is will be a huge challenge for construction companies.These homes are built well enough to deal with weather issues and protect anyone who…[Read more]

“Fake News” is everywhere and will continue because of the AI bots that create fake content. The AI created content will continue to grow because it grows the audience looking at these stories and click bait is another tool that works well to get viewers to look at content. I personally believe that this should stop. According to statista.com, 30%…[Read more]

Elon Musk, the owner of The Boring Company, is changing the mission of this company to something exciting. Developing underground Hyperloop Transit that prioritizes pedestrians and cyclists, allowing them to […]

I hadn’t heard that Musk was changing his plan for the Boring company. It seemed overly ambitious to have one car at a time on the sleds. I imagine this will be a much more cost effective method of transporting city populations.

It is a big change of plans, however it totally makes sense to use something that is going to be so fast and cost efficient to transport pedestrians first and maybe cars later. I’m very excited about the future hyperloop transit, it will take a lot of time and effort to develop but once it’s a reality, it will be a game changer.

I think that there is alot of room for improvement for transportation in the future and this could be one of the new emerging transportation technologies. This idea would be cool if people are able to travel faster and to their destination more efficiently.

I feel the same about the IT and business gap. They are getting pretty similar and only gonna grow closer. IT is clearly becoming the driver of business and we have seen a lot of examples of this especially in the ability to cut jobs for employees. One huge example is the fully automated banks. In 2017, Bank of America opened three fully automated…[Read more]

I think that this is scary. The scary part of all of this is that if someone is able to hack this information they will have incredible power. Facebook contains everything about you and It’s difficult to know exactly what they collect. They never really show all of the things they are doing with your information and what they are taking from it. S…[Read more]

Staying on top of the competition is one of Google’s main goals. It’s the newest method to doing this is incorporating predictive applications into all of its services. In order to make life even easier and […]

I think it is unnecessary. Those are the bright side of these new applications. However, people concern about their privacy and data breach risk more. Moreover, the auto-fill email function, faster web-surfing service, and photo editing are the easiest things in our daily life, I don’t think people mind spend a few seconds on these things. These are definitely fascinating and exciting technology, Google can use them to deal with complicated things in our lives.

I believe this is unnecessary as well. Even if Google could perfect the AI to the point where email replies were almost indistinguishable from an actual human reply I feel like we still need that human interaction to exists as a society. Yes, the argument can be made that this would free up our time for more important things, but I feel this is a slippery slope. At what point do machine learning and artificial intelligence threaten our way of life, our jobs, our human legacy. There is a running joke in I.T. from the (probably older than many of you reading this) movie “The Terminator”, that when Skynet becomes self-aware there will be no need for the human race to exist. I don’t think Google is close to becoming self-aware but let’s not forget to code these AI systems with some basic “human” compassion, just in case Skynet is listening.

I also believe this is unnecessary. These applications have a great concept, but I don’t think majority of the public would want to use the application. The main reason is because of the invasion of privacy. Already the public is skeptical about the government spying on its citizens. If they aren’t happy with the government doing it, they surely wouldn’t want Google to track all their information as well. I do think the Gmail application with smart replies is a neat feature, but I don’t think it’ll gain adoption if it’s risking our privacy. Recently, I saw a video about a news anchor traveling around Washington D.C with two cellular devices with no Internet or cellular access and at the end of the video he connects it to a device that reads all the metadata that is collected from Google. The part that stood out to me the most is when Google knew when he got in and out of the car when traveling. Below is a link of the video I am referencing. It’s really interesting, check it out.

Virtual reality is continuously battling against augmented reality. The complexity of creating VR games has caused the overall amount of game releases to decline. In comparison, AR game releases are remaining […]

I believe that the future of gaming is Virtual reality. Even people like me who are not really into gaming, would definitely enjoy a great VR experience that makes the player fully immersed in the game. It’s not about the game by itself anymore, it became about a brand new experience inclusive of everybody not just gamers. With that being said, Augmented reality would not offer the same user experience, but if it’s significantly cheaper, I could see people sacrificing an authentic VR experience for a cheaper similar one. overall, I don’t see this trend fading out, but instead continuing to be incorporated into more than just gaming.

I am excited that I was able to experience some of the MIS course load because they are directly tied to the work I am working on over the summer of 2017. In my internship with Kia’s Cakes, I was tasked with […]

The most important take away is the mindset used data analytics. I learned that I needed a logical understanding of how a system works, so that I could wrap my head around all the concepts. This covers learning the programs needed in class, relating content it to your life and adopting new ideas in general. I realized the mindset’s importance…[Read more]

Facebook uses R for Exploratory Data Analysis, Experimental Analysis, Big-Data Visualization, Human Resources, and user behavior analysis related to status updates and profile pictures. Facebook is a company that deals with a lot of data more than 500 terabytes a day and R is widely used at Facebook to visualize and analyze that data. Applications…[Read more]
